Pupillary Unrest in Ambient Light, and Relationship to Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression
Description

Volunteers will receive a weight-based opioid (remifentanil) infusion for 10 minutes. In the first run, serial pupillary measurements (pupillary unrest, pupil diameter) will be taken at baseline, and at 2.5-minute intervals during the infusion and a 25-minute recovery period afterwards. After a washout period, the experiment will be repeated in each subject (second run). The two runs differ only by presence versus absence of verbal interaction.
